CONTRACT FUNDING RULES AND REGULATIONS
,~
SECTION 1. PURPOSE
Under the provisions of Section 103(n)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as
amended (the "Code"), and Section 1.103(n)-2T of the Temporary Regulations (the
"Temporary Regulations"), it is possible that the Joint Revenue Bonds of DFW Airport
may be required to be included with the State Private Activity Bond Volume Limitations
provided by the Code, as interpreted by the Temporary Regulations. Such ,determination
is or may be influenced by the source and use of funding of construction contracts at
DFW Airport, some of which funding is provided by DFW Airport Board through the
issuance of Joint Revenue Bonds or Special Facility Revenue Bonds.
'~~ While the Board can and intends to continue to control the ur oses for which it
P P
issues Joint Revenue Bonds and Special Facility Bonds and to control the expenditures of
funds from those sources, it has no control over the funding of a tenant's share of any
contract payments obtained from other sources.
It is the purpose of these Rules and Regulations to establish rules upon the basis of
which the Board will let contracts and will permit construction at DFW Airport by
contractors not under contract directly with the Board, and to provide procedures by
which contracts, funded by sources outside the Board's control, will be permitted, all for
the purpose of making certain the Board's Joint Revenue Bonds remain outside the State
Private Activity Bond Limitations provided by the Code and the Temporary Regulations.
SECTION 2. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION
The effective date of these Rules and Regulations is December 3, 1985, the date of
their adoption, and they shall remain in effect until modified or rescinded by the Board.
The Board expresses its intent to modify or rescind these Rules and REgulations at such
1
-161-
r
1
'~ time as it has determined that relevant provisions of Section 103(n)(7) of the Code, as
interpreted by the Temporary Regulations, has been changed, altered, interpreted or
applied in a manner that will permit the use of funds obtained by tenants from tax
exempt sources in the payment of contracts for DFW Airport improvements without
causing the Joint Revenue Bonds of DFW Airport to be included within the Private
Activity Bond Volume Limitations provided by Section 103(n)(7) of the Code.
SECTION 3. SCOPE
These Rules and Regulations are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rule,
regulation, policy, law or contract provision relating to procurement activities of DFW
Airport.
SECTION 4. ADMINISTRATION OF RULES AND REGULATIONS
These Rules and Regulations shall be administered, under the direction of the
Executive Director, by all employees of DFW Airport. The Executive Director, with the
advice of the Board's Legal Counsel and the Board's Bond Counsel for Joint Revenue Bond
financing, is authorized to develop policies, procedures and practices consistent
herewith. Such policies, procedures and practices shall be binding upon all employees,
tenants and contractors doing business at or on the Airport.
SECTION 5. CONTRACTS FUNDED ENTIRELY FROM OPERATING REVENUES
Any Board contract for improvements or additions to DFW Airport may be let by
the Board in accordance with established procurement requirements without further
inquiry as to the source of funding, and may relate to the improvement or extension of
any properties comprising a part of DFW Airport.

Temporary Regulations; or
(2) the user of the facilities being improved, expanded or extended, has
made or makes a timely and effective election not to take an investment tax credit
or depreciation with respect to the prior facilities and the facilities being financed
with the proceeds of the Joint Revenue Bonds, in a form and substance approved by
the Board's Legal Counsel.
SECTION 7. CONTRACTS FUNDED PARTLY WITH JOINT REVENUE BONDS OR
OPERATING FUNDS AND PARTLY WITH FUNDS OF A TENANT

providing the tenant's funding, which confirms that, as appropriate, the funds
designated for use in paying the tenant's share of contract payments are derived
from the source state, or that the third party will not permit the withdrawal of
funds held in its custody for the purpose of making improvements at DFW Airport
or will make such payments directly to the Board and will not permit a
reimbursement of the tenant from the funds held by it for a purpose not permitted

Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance approving
the recodified 1988 Revised Code of Rules and Regulations of the Dallas-.Fort
Worth International Airport Board.
Background
Articles 46d-7 and 46d-14, Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, and paragraph 8F
of the 1968 Contract and Agreement between the Cities of Dallas and Fort
Worth, authorize and empower the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Board
to adopt and enforce rules and regulations for the orderly, safe and sanitary
operation of the airport, and to prescribe penalties for the breach of any
rule or regulation not exceeding a $200 fine. These provisions of state law
and the contract and agreement require approval by the City Councils of the
Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth in order that such rules and regulations shall
have the same effect as ordinances of Dallas and Fort Worth within they
boundaries of the Airport.
In 1971, the original Code of Regulations for the D/FW Airport was adopted and
approved Since 1971, a number of changes in operation and practical concerns
have made some sections of the 1971 Rules and Regulations obsolete and other
sections necessary
On May 3, 1988, the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Board adopted
Resolution No 88-111 which approved a recodified 1988 Revised Code of Rules
and Regulations and requested that the City Councils of Dallas and Fort Worth
approve the same. A copy of the Revised Code of Rules and Regulations is on
file with the City Secretary of the City of Fort Worth and copies have been
delivered to members of the City Council. Deletions in the text of the
Revised Code of Rules and Regulations are indicated by has marks and additions
are indicated by underlineations
To highlight a few of the changes, several definitions have been added to
further clarify the provisions of the Code, traffic regulations have been
expanded to include offenses which were unenforceable under the old code and
which were of particular operational concern. An official map of Airport
roadways has also been included along with the extensive list of speed limits
upon such roadways.
Chapter Three, governing Personal Conduct, has been expanded to provide the
additional offenses of fraudulent mispresentation, unauthorized transfer of
authorization, unauthorized use of authorization, and temporary or permanent
residence A number of other sections, covered by state law, are deleted.
Chapters Four and Five, covering Taxi, Bus and Limousine regulations, remain
unchanged in the proposed recodification, with the exception of the
substitution of a Schedule of Charges to be adopted by the Airport Board in
lieu of the specific fees detailed in the original rules
